    It has notable flaws in the single player game modes, and the menu is the most disorganized. Even so, I improve its Gameplay, although due to the questionable decision of the new characters they make it somewhat weak compared to the others. Even with its flaws, it is a highly recommended game for new players, and it is one that is at least worth the opportunity.

    This was my most played smash game and it took my friend and I super long to discover all the different powers for all the fighters, 8 player smash was monumental and we were able to make our own battles come alive within it. Truly an awesome addition.

    Incredibly fun, and super nostalgic for me! This game introduced many staples of the Smash series, such as character CGI trailers, DLC, and, of course, so many third-party reps! Its a shame this game's currently dead.

    Lleva la fórmula Smash hasta un nivel de excelencia que perfectamente supone ser el mejor videojuego de la consola. Pero increíblemente, aún se podía llevar más allá. Qué bueno eres, Ultimate!

    Super Smash Bros Wii-U is truly the only reason to own a Wii-U now that Mario Kart 8 has been ported to the Switch.

    It is great and has many different controller options, but its soundtrack while great, isn’t up to Melee and Brawl standards, lacks an adventure mode, and the addition of DLC means that once the severs go down, you cannot access all of the game anymore if you are starting

    Because of the DLC factor, I can only give this game a 9 at best. (Only games that are complete without DLC, microtransactions, and paywalls can get a perfect 10 from me.)

    The worst best Smash on the Wii U. It is a truly epic game with more content than ever. It's very similar to ultimate, but obviously has trophies instead of spirits and some fighters missing, but it is still a great game regardless of if you've played ultimate or not

    A really enjoyable game, that's sadly already being forgotten about because of Ultimate. That's because the gameplay was already so good in this one. It's just been tweaked to be better in that game. People should give this game more credit.

    It's just so fun, man.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the true casual Smash Bros. experience, taking aspects from Brawl that were already casual and taking them to the max. However, competitive and hardcore players may want to skip this one. No single-player campaign and slow gameplay make Smash for Wii U a nightmare fo non-casual players.

    This game is amazing, and the third party round up is great, and the DLC was really exciting when they started revealing them, however, Bayonetta is way too OP, and there isn't much to do aside from playing smash mode. It really could've done with a story mode.

    This game is good. One of the only things that bothers me is that there is no unique title for it. Wii U? 3DS? This seems lazy. We had Melee, Brawl, Ultimate, now Wii U? This makes the game feel weird and not like a Smash Bros game.

    The next installment of the Super Smash Bros series is a solid addition. While there are no revolutionary breakthroughs, it still adds upon what was there in previous games and makes it worth the buy.

    The new additions to the series are fun to play and have a unique style. Characters like Mega Man and Shulk bring new playstyles the series has never really seen, so the roster is sure to have a character or several to suit every player. A few characters like Dark Pit and Lucina are the familiar clone archetype, matching other characters almost exactly, but this is nothing new for the series and doesn't detract from the much more numerous novel additions.

    Smash 4 also adds custom moves and items. The items allow players to customize their characters by increasing their attack power, defense, or speed as well as adding additional abilities. An increase in one stat necessarily means a decrease in another, however, preventing the customization ability from getting too far unbalanced. Custom moves also give players the option to change special moves to something more suiting their playstyle. While these features can add some fun variability, Smash 4 does not allow their use online with strangers, somewhat limiting their fun. If you don't have friends who also own the game or frequently play with you, you'll only get to use your custom character against computer characters.

    The stage selection has a mix of the old and the new. Old favorites like Hyrule Temple and Kongo Jungle 64 make return appearances alongside a slew of brand new places. The new stages are, on average, much more... interactive than previous games' stages. There are stages that just let you be and provide footing on which to fight, but most of them want in on the action. The degree to which this is a good thing varies with the stages. Some stages, like Woolly World and Pilotwings merely switch up the ground you're standing on and can improve the gameplay by varying the terrain, but others like Mushroom Kingdom U and Orbital Gate Assault include stage hazards that are capable of KOing your character in one go. These and stage bosses can prove to be a bit much for the somewhat serious player.

    To offset such dynamic stages, however, is the stage builder. It has its own unique limitations, making it different but not better than Brawl's stage builder. Careful crafters can end up making gorgeous stages that are loads of fun to play on, and the lack of ability to add stage hazards guarantees it'll be relatively peaceful.

    The standard Smash mode adds 8-player smash, which is a useful addition if you have more than three friends over and don't want to take turns. Online provides both For Fun and For Glory modes of play, the former being a more casual take and the latter being more competitive. While it's fun to play with strangers, both these modes have their shortcomings. For Fun is limited to 4-player, all items on, 2 minute timed mode which isn't always to the taste of the players. For Glory forces the player into two stock, no items matches that can be played with four players or one on one. The unfortunate thing about For Glory is that it also forces players to fight on variations of Final Destination, a completely flat and featureless stage. For the most part, though, the excitement of fighting actual, thinking people outweighs the limitations of online play.

    The last real multiplayer mode is Smash Tour. This mode is very hit or miss. At its most basic, it is a board game where one collects fighters and powers them up for a duel at the end. While this may sound simple, the game throws a multitude of additional effects and rules in the game that can make it far too complicated and busy for many. For others, all the extras provide some variation to an otherwise rather simple game. It does expect you to teach a lot of the rules and strategy to yourself, however, which scares away many players.

    While two players can play the remaining modes, they were built with one player in mind. Target Blast replaces the target test from previous games, and while it can be enjoyable, it gets stale fast and pales in comparison to the target test, especially Melee's. On the other hand, Event Mode returns and is the most fun it's ever been. The selection is more dynamic and the challenges more difficult.

    The lack of a true Adventure Mode hurts the game's single player aspect, especially coming off Brawl's much loved Subspace Emissary. And while the game's large roster only helps multiplayer, it can make All Star mode drag on a bit long. Classic Mode is similarly tedious, although they're both fun in small amounts.

    All in all, Smash 4 took some steps back and many steps forward. Its single player isn't as enjoyable as previous titles, but its multiplayer is better than ever. Its "worst" aspects are only relative, and everything in the game is still quality and enjoyable. You may not be blown out of the water, but you'll still have a great time.

    This game is spectacular. The huge amount of characters added to the game, and even better stage creation! But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's talk about the different aspects of the game.

    A: Music/Sounds Could not be better. I am simply astounded by the amount of music that has been put into the game. You know that Legend of Zelda music that you love so much? That's in it.
    This game is spectacular. The huge amount of characters added to the game, and even better stage creation! But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's talk about the different aspects of the game.

    A: Music/Sounds

    Could not be better. I am simply astounded by the amount of music that has been put into the game. You know that Legend of Zelda music that you love so much? That's in it. You know that Super Mario Brothers theme? That's in it. Pretty much all soundtracks (Even some have been remixed) in the history of Nintendo have been added to the game. The voices of all of the characters are great, and the sounds are fluid and top-quality. The music, is perfect.

    10/10

    B: Graphics

    Beautiful. The graphics could not get much better than this. I mean, it doesn't look realistic - but it isn't supposed to be! You don't need graphics to make a game like this amazing, but man - they pulled the graphics off really well. The individual scales on Bowser are visible, the threads on Mario's hat - and the stages look better than they have ever been before. Unfortunately, the graphics aren't the best in the world - the characters are fine, but some of the stages look a little outdated.

    9/10

    C: Gameplay

    Beautiful. An amazing mix of Brawl and Melee. Not too floaty, not too fast. Controlling the characters are very easy, and some characters do require special techniques to work best. For example, Marth does maximum damage when you hit another character with the tip of his sword, whilst Roy does maximum damage when you hit them closer to the hilt of the blade. No matter how much you play the game, you can still get better. You can still learn. And thanks to the great Amiibo support, you can even have someone learn with you! I haven't even mentioned the monstrous amount of stages and Characters. It will probably take you over a day to try them all out properly! They really excelled at this. I can't see how they could have improved it at all.

    10/10

    D: Online

    Unfortunately, they didn't do all that well with this. But of course, I have never really been much of an online gamer - so I barely touched this. There's lag during the online matches (generally because of the other person's bad connection) and the tourneys are really strange as well. You can't play as Miis or use your custom stages, but I can understand why you can't do that. But I would have really enjoyed playing as my Mii. I'm not going to get into the DLC, but let me tell you that it is amazing what they have added.

    5/10

    Overall, Super Smash Brothers. for Wii U is an amazing game that can still be enjoyed for generations to come. I can't wait to see what more DLC they will add, before they have to depart. I've definitely played my fair share of the game. It has surpassed its predecessors, by a long mile. I'll always love the Super Smash Brothers Series, and I think this will always be my favourite, even after the next one comes out.

"Super Smash Bros. for Wii U," boring title and all, was one of the best games of 2014 (even though 2014 was a weak year, I'm sure it would've been amazing in any other year), and now with all the DLC and balance patches released, it's truly a fantastic game.

    Game Play 9/10
    Easily the best smash game game play wise with it hitting a perfect middle ground with its speed as the speed is right in between brawls slower game play and melee very frantic fast paced game play.Other than speed its mostly the same fun fighting action but with more Items,characters,and stages than ever before.If i were to say one flaw it would be that i find it to easy to recover from being hit of the edge than previous installments meaning that the intense suspense of seeing if your opponent will make it back is mostly gone.

    Controls 9/10
    The controls are most of the time perfect smooth and satiating especially wen you deliver a smash attack to your foe. I am docking a point because of the abundance of online lag with the controls so its not necessarily the controls themselves.

    Music 8/10
    A solid soundtrack but it mostly is songs from other games.I understand its a crossover but i wish that they would still have more original pieces because the ones they do have is some of the best music in the game.I really hope there is more original tunes for smash 5

    Worth The Price Yes
    This game is defiantly worth the 60 dollar price tog with its tons of side not main battle content like events,classic mode,all star mode,smash tour,Master and crazy orders,and tons of other modes to keep you satisfied for a long time along with the always active online community.

I do wish that this game included some kind of campaign mode similar to Brawl, but this game includes other gameplay options. Some may think that Smash Tour is a cheap rip-off of Mario Party, but I enjoyed myself playing with it, and it included a few new mechanics that were fun to play with.

The moment I purchased this game at my local store and took it back home for me to play, I nearly sobbed once I found that there was no subspace emissary 2. They also removed one of the fan favorites: Snake from metal gear solid, which was kind of a bummer. But I guess they're just doing what they think is right.

    Nintendo included tons more modes, including some of the originals from classic smash installments. SSB4 is also compatible with your amiibo so if you have a collection at home, go give it a try! They also introduced a whole new set of OC's to the roster so if you're looking for the perfect game, smash 4 is no exception.

I got Smash U launch day, and 3 days have passed and I have gotten maybe a total of 10 hours of sleep. This game is insanely addicting with its many game modes, enticing unlockables, and mindless yet extremely skillful gameplay. The Smash series is the epitome of "easy to learn, hard to master". And the extensive list of characters make you want to master them all. And I have only mastered Little Mac, Pac-Man, and Mega Man. And I still have to master 48 and still needing to play 36. Another great addition to the game was the Mii fighters, which allow you to make your Miis into playable fighters. One feature I have yet to try is the Amiibo system. Which, from my understanding, is a process where you can increase character stats and make them stronger by buying and "training" plastic figures which you scan. I have never been a fan of this system, as I feel it is a way for developers to bleed their fans of money. This has always bothered me since Skylanders came out, followed by Disney Infinity. It just seems like freemium games, yet you're still paying $60 for a game, and having to spend $10 on a figure just to play another small portion of the game. Luckily, Smash U does this in a less evil way, because the game comes with all of the characters, but you have the option to make them stronger by paying for it. But all in all, this game is amazing, fun, addictive, and gorgeous. And it is by far my favorite game of 2014 so far, and the best entry of the Smash series to date. Great job Nintendo, even though you make bad business decisions, you still manage to make amazing first party exclusives. Expand

The fourth installment of this fighting games series manages to be a good balance of fun and competitive play unlike the previous games in the franchise. No longer do you have to suffer terrible physicals and clunky controls with Melee, or floating heavy characters and slipping up in Brawl, or the heavily simplistic gameplay of Smash Bros on the N64.

    The character selection here is pretty good with the exception of maybe the exception of Lucina who has no difference from Marth. You can also expand the character roster with the seven DLC characters. You can play as some of the all time Nintendo classics like Mario, Donkey Kong, Link and Yoshi. You can play as some familiar faces that have been long gone like Little Mac or the Duck Hunt Dog. You can even play as Characters outside of Nintendo like Sonic, Mega Man, Pac Man, Cloud, Ryu and Bayonetta. Without a doubt, there will be a character on this roster who you will recognize and love playing as.

    The stages in Smash Bros on Wii U is a pretty good line up for both fun and competitive play. Also returning are N64 stages, which have seen a return since Melee. Whilst a couple of these stages may be taken right out of previous entries, there are also a good number of new stages. Some of them though I do feel are a little too big. The reason for this is the 8 player mode, where you can have up to 8 controllers connected for absolute mayhem. Speaking of controllers, this game has so many controller options. This includes, Gamepad, Wiimote, Wiimote with numchuck, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Classic Controller, GameCube controller and even the 3DS. No matter what play style you use, you won't feel left out here. The online here is also far improved, meaning the only time you will play with someone and have bad connection is when either you or your opponent has bad connection, rather than with Wii's online where 2 minute matches could take 10 minutes.

    One thing I will complain about it some of the extra modes. Smash Tour is the most unwanted mode in this game. The only reason why someone would play this mode is to complete some of the challenges on the challenge sheet. Smash Tour is not very fun, and I would not recommend playing. Just stick to regular Smash for multiplayer. Smash Bros on Wii U also lacks a sub space emissary. This was all because Sakurai worried about people uploading cutscenes online. Whilst I understand it was probably for the best of developing the main part of the game being the fighting, it is sort of a let down from Brawl.

    Otherwise, this game is great! I would probably hold off buying a Wii U in case they announce a port for the Switch with new content, or a brand new Smash Bros entirely. If for some reason you manage to obtain a Wii U, Super Smash Bros is the game to have.

    This game is incredible. I've only played the original(which is one of my favorite games to this day), and this one, but I can guarantee that the series is one to beat. Just go play it already

    This game is very enjoyable. The online is better then brawl. And lots of characters to choose from. The 3ds prevented more characters and the ice climbers though (RIP ice climbers). But a few things annoyed me about this game. No adventure mode. I LOVED the adventure mode in brawl. Sadly they removed it in Wii u. The online can also be annoying and pretty bad.

    This is the game in the franchise with the better gameplay in the series. Is not fast and not slow, its perfect. The characters hoster is over the incredible level, with Sonic, Magaman, Pacman, Ryu, Cloud and Bayonetta.

    The best Smash and one of the best party games ever, easy to learn, faster than Brawl, no tripping, amazing online, great stages, perfect gameplay, hundreds of hours of replay value and unlockables, multiple control options, lots of the most beloved characters in video game history, is just an awesome.

    A sprawling ode to Nintendo and punching, this'll keep fans scrapping for years to come. [Feb 2015, p.66]
